Arunachal Pradesh
THE KAMENG RIVER EXPEDITION
Fixed Departure - December 21-December 30, 2016
The Kameng River
The Kameng River (previously named Bhareli River, now called Kameng in Arunachal Pradesh
and Jia Bhoreli in Assam) in the eastern Himalayan mountains, originates in Tawang district
from the glacial lake below snow capped Gori Chen mountain (6,300 metres (20,669 ft) on the
India-Tibet border in South Tibet and flows through Bhalukpong circle of West Kameng District,
Arunachal Pradesh and Sonitpur District of Assam, India. It is one of the major tributaries of
the Brahmaputra River, joining it at Tezpur, just east of the Kolia Bhomora bridge. The
Kameng forms the boundary between East Kameng District and West Kameng Districts and is
also the boundary between the Sessa and Eagle nest sanctuaries to its west and the Pike tiger
reserve to the east. The Dafla Hills are east and the Aka Hills (home of Aka tribe) are west of
the Kameng River.
Adding to the trilogy of our offerings on the Upper Brahmaputra, Subansari and Lohit rivers, the
Kameng is a fascinating medium-large volume river trip with surprisingly consistent rapids,
deep gorges, pristine camps and well kept old forests ; and boasts of the finst white water in
western Arunachal Pradesh.
For self contained team of kayakers, we can organise a higher put in from Taksing,
with helicopter induction, on request.
